In a recent column, British journalist Alex Blimes blasted Beth Ditto, her band the Gossip, and the entire fashion industry, calling them outright “stupid.”
Blimes calls the fashion industry’s love for Ditto a transparent ploy to “get the feminazis off their case,” adding that Ditto is “just as bad an example to young women as a girl ten stone lighter than her.”
Commenting on the release of the Gossip’s fourth album, Music for Men, Blimes calls them a “deeply average, resolutely unsuccessful rock band.”
Um, let’s see…which name do you recognize more instantly? Beth Ditto and the Gossip or Alex Blimes?
